Jan Juc Beach

Beach and reef breakIntermediate

Jan Juc sits just south of Torquay and offers a rawer, more exposed stretch of coast than its neighbour. Its beach and reef combo can produce quality A-frame peaks and faster, hollower waves than Torquay, attracting a loyal local crew. Best suited to intermediate surfers comfortable with reef hazards.
